Is it possible to install Dreamweaver CS3 on Ubuntu? I have it on my windows partition already, and it works fine, but that is ALL i use windows for... so i would like to get it on Ubuntu if at all possible... I tried using Wine to install it, and the EXE file loads, but the setup does not initiate... after something extracts... I'm not really sure whats going on. any ideas? (Side note: are there any other Web design programs for Ubuntu comparable to Dreamweaver that you would suggest?)

Thanks!

Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 is not installable as of Wine version 0.9.48. It is however possible to get it working though a Windows installation. See the How To

There are mixed responses for Dreamweaver CS3 on the appdb - http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7694
I suggest setting up a virtual machine in Ubuntu if you have a little RAM to spare. These boot up quickly and are very flexible, allowing you to run windows apps inside a VM, even with seamless integration. Here is a link for using VirtualBox which I like - http://lifehacker.com/367714/run-windows-apps-seamlessly-inside-linux
